Ukiyo's
Vita Uke Reenactment

It's always hard to complain about a competent reissue of a classic design, such as this one by Ukiyo. I've yet to hear an explanation of why the original Roy Smeck Vita Uke happened to have seals for soundholes. Sometimes, though, It's best not to know everything. This all-mahogany version is a fine little instrument, and I'm content with leaving it at that. . .
